You must call Symantec support (I have had to do it once before for this). They will have you run a utility located on your local drive, and then send them the output for decoding. I haven't checked on the web to see if there is another decoder... Chad Stiller, MCSE Ramcom Technology cds@ramcom.com

Just a thought - something I have noticed from my personal experience - OWA will not display the contents of an encrypted message. My boss setup internal emails to use the Outlook 2000 encryption method, and they contents of the messages are not viewable in OWA. Not much, but maybe it will...

It is very rare that Symantec issues updated virus defintions on anything less than a daily basis, so once every 24-hours should be enough to keep you current. Empahsys on should... You can increase the frequency via the Symantec System Console (SSC), assuming you have the NAV Corporate...

Make sure that the list w/ the custom recipents is present under the Addressing tab in the local (client) mail profile. Not much help, but it has been a looooooong time since I've dealt with v.4, but I don't recall any special problems with what you are trying to do. Chad Stiller, MCSE Ramcom...

It's also called the "Out of the Office Assistant" depending on your Outlook version, and you can also do it via the Rules Wizard - and yes, they are off of the Tools menu - at least for every rev of Outlook that I've worked with. If you have access to the Exchange Administrator...

The Symantec knowledge base article you refer to is for environments that have both the NAV (Norton Anti-Virus) for Exchange & NAV for NT software running on the same machine - you need to disable the NAV client from scanning the Exchange stores & NAV Exch. temp folder to avoid potential...

Open a blank email in Outlook - not sure if all versions are the same or not, but 2000 works this way. Under the View menu choose Options, and then set the "Do not deliver before" paramater under the delivery options settings. - or - Open a blank email, click the File menu, choose...

That is part of it, but you will need to install the IMC (Internet Mail Connector) and set it up with any restriction & connection specfic information, and add in the routing for your inbound domain name. You did not indicate which version of Exchange you are running, but the procedures will be...

I've exported them to a .csv file before with Exch 5.5. You need to add all of the columns you want to export to the custom recipient view in the Exchange Administrator program, and then choose the File -> Save Window Contents command. This is, quite honestly, an ugly way to do it , but it's...

The only time I've seen something similar to that is when the Information Store was corrupted with a known bug in Exchange 5.5 sp2 - instaling sp3 took care of it, check the MS site for details. I've got a SBS client that doesn't use their Exchange 5.5 for mass mailings, but they hammer at it...

First of all you need to know the system your are dealing with - if it doesn't have two or more physical hard drives, RAID of any flavour is not an option. A minimum of three hard drives is required for RAID 5 (parity with striping). Win2k server supports both hardware and software RAID configs...

My experience with Exch2k is still somewhat limited, but I am almost 100% certain that Active Directory (AD) needs to be present - if not on the Exch server itself at least present on the domain. All accounts, security, and backend authentication in Exchange2K is now handled by the AD services...

You should also check and see if the users Outlook client software has Auto Archiving turned on and what paramters may be defined for that setting. If I remember right it is in on by default for all folders with a fairly short time frame. Just a thought, Chad Stiller, MCSE Ramcom Technology...

Hmmmmm... I've never had problems with net use commands with WSP present, at least not mapping to a regular share within the network. Your second example helps clarify the matter - thanks much. One thing you may want to look at is passing the username parameter with the domainname - otherwise...

Honestly that is to big of a topic for me to type away at and cover everything. Not to try and promote anothers product, but I have a book that has proven to be an invaluable resource when working with Exchange 5.5. It's called "Notes from the field: Managing and Maintaining MS Exchange...
